Recycled Pillows

Difficulty: ♥


Materials: Old t-shirt or pants; fiber fill; sewing machine/ needle and thread; rubber bands; ribbon

T-Shirt: 1. Turn shirt inside out. Sew the bottom and sleeves together.
2. Turn the shirt right-side out. Fill with fiber fill.
3. Sew the neck shut.

Tube Pillow: 1. Cut the leg off of an old pair of pants.
2. Use a rubber band to tie off one end. Fill with fiber fill.
3. Tie off the other end. Add ribbon to conceal the rubber bands

Hints and Tips:
         * When sewing the neck line, sew as close to the seam as possible and use thread that's close in color to the shirt. This will make the stitches less noticable.
         * Cut the hem off of the pants so that both sides have similar looking edges.
